Paper-Piecing Tips:

When paper-piecing a block like the one above, I find
it easier to pre-cut my pieces so my fabric grainlines
will be near straight of grain.

However, when pre-cutting for paper-piecing, you must OVERSIZE
all pieces to allow for placement.

* * NOTE * *
Each section of the paper-piecing pattern should have 1/4" seam allowance
If the seam allowance does not print, you must still account for it
when trimming each pieced section


Setting Triangles

For the quilt above, you will need 12 setting triangles
Cut a strip 12" x WOF of your background, then cut 3
12" x 12" squares.
Quarter these squares by cutting diagonally to make 4
triangles. Each 12" square will give you 4 setting triangles

Corner Triangles

From your background fabric, cut 2 squares 6 1/4" x 6 1/4",
then halve. This will give you the 4 corner triangles
